What is double speak

if this isn't? "Guns have a very high lethality index (or as it is sometimes indelicately put, a high completion rate) in both homocide and suicide." I wonder if this means the same thing as Guns kill people deader than most other weapons? SMH Sat 29 Apr.
As for the death of Australian Soldier Kovco in Iraq last week the outrage about his treatment by the govt is told in Alan Ramsey's column. "Nelson says it was circumstances beyond our control. Bullshit. If you've got a dead Australian soldier, you bring him home in dignity, wrapped in the flag, escorted all the way. You don't privatise him. You don't treat our dead like baggage that goes in the hold. Bloody unbelievable." The column started, "A friend emailed yesterday. 'We talk about the values debate in Australia? F*** me dead! A billionaire media mogul like Kerry Packer who celebtrated his tax minimisation , gets a publicly funded state memorial service and Private Kovco who offered his life for his country and paid the ultimate price gets treated like a piece of meat."
